Writing and Publishing Radio Show

Join your host, Felice Gerwitz and her guest, Melanie Wilson. "I was a doctoral student in clinical psychology who couldn’t seem to change...it seemed I had done everything right, and when it seemed I had all the answers. I had never been more miserable." Melanie Wilson, PhD is the author of "So You're Not Wonder Woman" Today she speaks for church, women’s, and homeschool groups and recognizes that one of the reasons she's invited is because of her Ph.D. in psychology. Most people believe, as she did, that her Ph.D. is a great asset. In her life, it’s been a stumbling block—a central part of her if-it-is-to-be-it’s-up-to-me life philosophy. Only when she was failing in every area of her life did she look outside of herself. She wrote So You’re Not Wonder Woman to share her journey from chaos to Christ with women who wonder why they can’t change. P.S. So You’re Not Wonder Woman is free for Amazon Kindle and its free apps on April 9!

Author of the new book, Engaging Today's Prodigal: Clear Thinking, New Approaches, and Reasons for Hope Learn why she felt she had to write the book and ways to write what is your passion! Please join us for this live event. About the book: Many families today experience the profound guilt and shame filled pain of seeing a child walk away from their faith and values. Churches and parents feel powerless to change the relationship and engage the prodigal in positive ways. Carol Barnier has the insight to help. She left the faith of her pastor father, became an active atheist, debated Christians, and explored a variety of worldviews before she found the truth in a relationship with Jesus. But far more than her personal story, Engaging Today's Prodigal equips readers with a better understanding of a prodigal's motivation, useful responses that won't prevent reconciliation, clear boundaries to protect themselves and other children, actions to take when you know you have contributed to the problem, and the value of realistic expectations. With effective wit and humor, Carol provides material relevant for churches, parents and even the prodigals themselves. Can your family or church interact with a prodigal in ways that build a relationship bridge that can provide a way back home when they are ready' Let Engaging Today's Prodigal equip you with clear, specific actions that can overcome the shame, hurt, and loss to bring real hope for the future.
